Net margin
Final profit after every cost, interest and tax, as a share of sales.
Why it matters
This is what is left for shareholders. It can be distorted by one-off gains or charges, so check it against operating margin.
How to read it
Large gaps between operating and net margin usually mean heavy interest costs or unusual items.
